The Prince of Wales has sent to the laboratory at Cambridge
University, Massachusetts, a copy of the photographs of the Samaritan
Pentateuch taken during the visit of his Royal Highness to
Nablous. In presenting this gift the private secretary of his Royal
Highness writes:--"The Prince of Wales desires me to add that he will
always be glad of any opportunity which may enable him to evince, in
however slight a manner, the lively sense which he entertains of the
kindness and hospitality he received during his visit to the United
States; and that, with these recollections, he cannot fail cordially
to reciprocate the wish to which you have given expression, that
nothing may occur to interrupt the friendship which ought ever to
subsist between the old country and the new."
